Blue Ribbon Chocolate Cake

Years ago .... 1978 to be exact a girl I worked with brought this in as a treat. We loved it!
She shared her aunts recipe and over the years this is the recipe I'd grab when I baked a chocolate cake.
In 1997 I entered the cake in the County Fair and was given the Blue Ribbon. My kids then called it "Blue Ribbon Chocolate Cake".

I have taken this cake to many picnics, church suppers, potlucks and just because. I always go home with an empty pan!

I use this cake recipe in my cast iron lamb cake molds at easter.

I frosted this cake with Yummy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting by Sherry Symmonds and it complimented this cake perfectly.
